All-Natural Soil For Herbs

Vegan Compost

Our aged compost is plant-based and creates a lush environment for your herbs. It offers ample organic matter, boosts soil structure, and enhances drainage.

It’s also a natural source of essential nutrients for perennial herbs. So, you’ll reduce your reliance on synthetic fertilizers that can harm microbes and decrease the soil pH.

Carbon-Negative Biochar

Biochar is the core of our potting soil. It enhances the growth of herbs by supporting their root development and increasing water and nutrient retention.

Plus, it helps trap atmospheric carbon dioxide! Three tons of carbon dioxide are removed from the carbon cycle for every ton of biochar generated.

This makes Rosy’s soil an excellent alternative to traditional herb soils (which contain unsustainable amendments like coco coir and sphagnum peat moss).  

Root Boosting Mycorrhizae

Mycorrhizae (mahy-kuh-rahy-zee) are herb-friendly fungi that enhance your potted herbs’ ability to retain water and essential nutrients. 

They help your houseplant thrive by bonding with its root system. The fungi also release glomalin, a gum-like substance that further locks in nutrients and moisture.

Step 1: Pre-Moisten

Rosy does best when it's pre-moistened before being added to pots. Moisten it with a bit of water until it holds enough to release a few drops when pressed.

Step 2: Pot or re-pot

Get a pot or herb container with suitable drainage and fill it up 1/3 with moist soil. You can also use a raised bed with proper drainage.

Step 3: Plant your herb

Carefully release your herb from its current soil mix and gently remove any debris lodged in the roots.

Spread out the root ball a little before centering the growing herb into your pot. Then, fill the pot with more moist soil, but leave about an inch at the top for watering.

Step 4: Water your herb garden

Water your potted herb plant gently, allowing the excess water to drain from the bottom. 

For the next watering, we recommend bottom watering (by placing the pot in a container/tray of water). 

This lets you water the soil without drenching the growing herbs' leaves. It also moistens the potting mix more consistently and nourishes the roots during the growing season.

You can periodically water from the top to flush out accumulated mineral and salt deposits in the soil.  

Rosy maintains exceptionally eco-friendly processes. And one of the most exciting parts is that our entire supply chain has a net negative carbon footprint!

Our Rosy soil for herbs captures over 2kg of CO2 from the carbon cycle.

How?

We intentionally use the most sustainable carbon-negative ingredients (like biochar), packaging, and shipping.
